Last week, we handled several timeshare cases in court.
We won three cases against Anfi Sales SL & Anfi Resorts SL, all heard at San Bartolomé de Tirajana Court No. 5 in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria. Across these claims, the court awarded our clients a total of £27,795.51. In each case, the judge found in our favour on the same two grounds:
- The contracts ran beyond the time limit set out in law.
- The contracts did not clearly specify the accommodation—such as what could be used, where it was located, and when it would be available.
We also succeeded in a case against Silverpoint Vacations, heard at Arona Court No. 2 in Tenerife, where the judge awarded our clients £26,626.32. Our case against Club La Costa was heard at Fuengirola Court No. 3, with an award of £5,587.76. However, we disagree with that outcome and will be appealing the decision, as we believe our clients should receive more. In both matters, the contracts were found to include similar missing or incorrect details to those identified in the Anfi Resorts cases.
In the past week, we have also been successful in three jurisdiction hearings against Club La Costa, heard in Arona (Courts No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3) and Fuengirola.
In all three hearings, the court rejected Club La Costa’s attempts to change where the cases should be heard, or by whom. The decisions were based on the claimants’ ability to sue in a competent forum, including the defendant’s country of residence—allowing these cases to proceed under Spanish law.
The contractual names used by Club La Costa in these jurisdiction cases included:
- Club La Costa Sucursal España
- Club La Costa Continental Resort Services
- Club La Costa Paradise Trading
